Goldsmith Jewelers Sells to tourists at a very high markup. ripoff Sitka Alaska
This company, now advertising on web, is surely unable to provide good prices from Sitka Alaska because of shipping costs. Nearly all merchandise originating in lower 48 or overseas. Drop shipping at times. But not really providing the service or product fairly and honestly.
Tourists beware

First of all, not all of their products originate in the Lower 48. Many are Alaska Native creations. Second, of course there are high shipping charges. Guess why? Don't blame, Goldsmith, blame USPS, FedEx, and UPS. They all charge additional fees to ship to Alaska and Hawaii. I have lived in Sitka for nearly four years, and I have adjusted to the idea of paying more there. It is the same with any small island community.
Oh and to the tourists? We don't want you, or the shops you bring. Most of those tourist shops close in the winter anyway. Our fishing and other local industries could support us just fine without the idiots standing in the street taking pictures of the church, and causing accidents.
